Garp recalled Renji's blue attack. If used well, combined with his full-power strike, it could shatter the falling ice completely.
"Is this kid about to use that move? No... the range isn't enough, but with my help, it might work... Huh?"
But then, his eyes lit up. In the sky, there wasn't just one shining blue orb.
"Phase, Twilight, Eye of Wisdom..."
Buzz... Buzz...
Powerful Cursed Energy surged wildly. Under Renji's control, five enormous blue orbs quickly condensed. On their surface, Cursed Energy fluctuations, like atmospheric currents, flowed, emitting a blue radiance that gave off a refreshed and invigorated feeling.
"What is Renji trying to do?!"
"Captain Renji!"
"Great! Captain Renji has acted! We are saved!"
Countless Marine soldiers were invigorated upon seeing that figure in the sky. After this battle, Renji had clearly become the game-changer in the eyes of the Marine soldiers. As long as Renji acted, the scales of war would surely tip towards victory.
Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue, Maximum Output!
In the sky, Renji's hair danced lightly. The blue-white light emitted by Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue illuminated him like a god descended from heaven.
As his mouth opened and closed, the five gigantic blue orbs suddenly unleashed a monstrous gravitational pull.
Whoosh... Whoosh... Whoosh...
A dazzling light instantly flared, bathing the entire Marineford ground in blue and white.
A drop of sweat seeped from Renji's forehead. Simultaneously using five Blues of such a scale was his current limit.
Incredibly terrifying gravity erupted high in the sky, and under Renji's precise arrangement, it finally encompassed the entire sky above Marineford.
Crack... Crack... Crack...
The Maximum Output of Lv. 5 Cursed Technique Lapse: Blue swept up countless ice blocks, gradually condensing them into five massive ice orbs suspended above Marineford.
"This is Captain Renji! The Marine's New Star! The future of our New Era Marine!"
"Boss!" Miguel felt his blood boil.
Every time Renji acted, it brought him an unparalleled shock.
"We came from the same training camp, but boss is just too powerful."
—
Koby watched the ice blocks not falling for a long time. While happy to have his life saved, upon learning that Renji had acted, if someone hadn't kept slapping him to keep him awake, he probably would have fallen into a coma again.
As countless Marine soldiers cheered, people all over the world also marveled, and some wise men even gave a very pertinent evaluation.
"In the future, he will surely possess the qualifications of an Admiral."
"Another crisis averted!" Sengoku smiled at the sight.
Then, he turned to Kizaru. "Is he just going to stand by again?"
Sengoku began to secretly calculate how to deduct the latter's salary.
Kizaru seemed to sense something. "Oh, I forgot Sengoku was still watching. If I don't do something, will my salary be deducted?"
Thinking this, his body transformed into golden light particles and rapidly flew towards the area where Akainu and Bullet were fighting.
"Akainu, I'm coming!"
Crack... Crack...
As Blue's gravitational pull continuously swept, five gigantic blue ice orbs spun rapidly high in the sky.
Just as the world wondered how Renji would deal with these ice orbs, they witnessed an astonishing scene.
The five ice orbs, suspended and rotating above Marineford, were slowly moving closer together.
"What is Renji doing?!"
"Is he trying to merge all five ice orbs and then smash them at those pirates or that robot?!"
Ignoring everyone else, Renji focused on controlling Blue to merge them. Performing this operation in his current state was a bit strenuous, but to block Kaido's sudden Heat Breath without any Marine soldiers getting injured, this was the only way.
To the surprise of the crowd, they soon understood why Renji had to do this.
In the sky, amidst the dark clouds accompanied by thunder and lightning, a red light suddenly rose. Then, an enormous fiery shockwave, like a laser, exploded with lightning sparks, instantly piercing the sky, carrying a power that seemed to annihilate the world, and blasted towards Marineford.
At this moment, Renji's five ice orbs finished condensing. Under his control, they bravely stood in front of the fiery shockwave.
Then, before the world could react—
Sizzle!
The fiery shockwave had already collided with that incredibly massive ice orb. It was like hitting an iceberg.
Kaido's terrifyingly high temperature Heat Breath instantly melted a large amount of ice, and white mist immediately enveloped the entire sky.
Sizzle!
Under the terrifying high temperature, the ice vaporized, turning into a sky full of white mist.
"What's going on?!"
"Who created that flame?!"
Compared to the exclamations of ordinary soldiers, the Vice Admirals of Marineford were all shocked.
"Such fast attack speed! If Renji hadn't condensed the ice orbs in advance to block it, if this attack had landed, the outcome would have been..."
Sengoku was also surprised. Kaido's Heat Breath had caught them off guard.
For the strong, it might be possible to protect themselves, but ordinary soldiers would inevitably suffer devastating blows.
Moreover, most of the Vice Admirals were not in good condition after fighting Bullet. Enduring such a Heat Breath, the result would probably be unpredictable.
Sengoku'sgaze penetrated the white mist. "Is it Observation Haki that can foresee the future?"
Sizzle... Sizzle...
As the mist continuously rose, Aokiji looked at Renji in surprise. The suddenness of that Heat Breath shockwave had even flustered him a bit.
"Renji, you're really amazing."
"Phew...."
Taking a deep breath, Renji's gaze swept across the sky.
"It's not over yet. Get ready for battle."
[Ding! Congratulations to the Host for successfully resolving the Marine crisis!]
[Reward: 100,000 Bounty points]
The fiery shockwave slowly dissipated, and the gigantic ice orb that covered the sky was also completely melted. Amidst the pure white mist, streaks of red light flashed through.
Sizzle... Sizzle...
Shanks landed. A one-armed Shanks stepped forward, the ground collapsing, rocks cracking. The invisible pressure emanating from his body caused Marine soldiers within hundreds of meters to all faint.
Whoosh... Whoosh...
In the sky, a dark-colored dragon stirred up a whirlwind, its scales gleaming, its claws reaching into the flame clouds, arriving with endless pressure.
Everyone finally saw the appearance of the newcomers.
"He is... a Four Emperor! Red Hair Shanks! Bounty of 4,048,900,000 Berries!"
"That dragon... there's no mistaking it. It's the Fish-Fish Fruit, Mythical Zoan, Azure Dragon form, Four Emperor Kaido! Bounty of 4,611,100,000 Berries!"
The two great Four Emperors officially landed on Marineford.
